That STF grant loss sucks very badly. I hope they can slim down and become more efficient.
KDE has STF + Valve + bigger annual budget. I hope they don’t become bloated now and spend their money wisely.
Allegedly they were going to use it to do some very needed work on Mutter, but that never happened :(
Damn, that sucks. Mutter and it’s UI bindings are in fact the reason why I left Gnome. I actually prefer Gnome’s UX/UI, but KDE has been faster in adopting gaming related features, so I switched.
For me, it’s its lack of proper multi monitor support.
You got your main monitor, and then you got that… Thing. You can put your windows on it. I guess.
Also, windows will just full screen on whichever monitor they please sometimes, the multi-monitor experience is very buggy.
Still on GNOME because I find KDE’s config vomit overwhelming for my ADHD brain that just needs sane defaults, but I’m unfortunately finding myself considering a Mac unless another opinionated DE like Gnome comes along.

Absolutely, this was the first thing that shocked me. Every single thing has the same top-level priority. If everything’s important, nothing is. Everything is thrown at you simultaneously, “vomit” is an appropriate description.

Cosmic is definitely opinionated and looks like it’s picking up the best parts of both KDE and Gnome. But it’s still early in development.
